The gaps in time between the “contingents” of vegans, churches, politicians and business groups added to the tedium of what was essentially a ruined day. i felt no pride in this presentation, nor did I feel as if we presented ourselves is a positive light.

And also the many many churches who now support treating gays as equals.

I’m told the United Methodists in the baltimore washington area actually voted to change their book of discipline (their rules book) to allow gay marriage.

And another person said that he was surprised at how many more str8 couples were there also.

I think we have reached the tipping point, where much of America is going to treat our gay citizens as equals.
the shame of it is that just like ending slavery, our accpetance of gays now makes uss one of the last of the westernized nations to do so.

Makes it real hard to be proud of our country., but we are finally making progress
